The threaded ends on the Rear Cable (70) and the
Press Cable (72) attached to the weight stacks can
be used to tighten the cables.
To tighten the Rear Cable (70), remove the 5/16” x
1 3/4” Bolt (96) and the 5/16” Nylon Locknut (86) from
the “U”-Bracket (33) and the Short Weight Tube (44).
Tighten the 1/4” Nylon Locknut (103) at the end of the
Rear Cable (70) a few turns. Re-attach the “U”-
Bracket (33) to the Short Weight Tube (44) with the
5/16” x 1 3/4” Bolt (96) and the 5/16” Nylon Locknut
(86).
The Press Cable (72) can be tightened in the same
manner.

The Pulley Plates (32) have four sets of adjustment
holes for each 3 1/2” Pulley (35). Slack can be
removed from the cables by moving one or both
Pulleys to a set of holes closer to the center of the
Pulley Plates.
To move a 3 1/2” Pulley (35), remove the 3/8” Nylon
Locknut (90) and the 3/8” x 2” Bolt (93) from the
Pulley Plates (32), the Cable Trap (38), and Pulley.
Re-attach the Pulley and Cable Trap to the next set of
holes in the Pulley Plates with the Bolt and Nylon
Locknut. Note: Begin by moving the bottom Pulley
up one set of holes. If the cables are still too
loose, move the top Pulley down one set of holes,
until the slack in the cables has been removed.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight system. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately. The weight system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
TIGHTENING THE CABLES
Woven cable, the type of cable used on the weight system, can stretch slightly when it is first used. If there is
slack in the cables before resistance is felt, the cables should be tightened. Slack can be removed from the
cables in several different ways.
When you are tightening the cables, note that they are linked into two distinct groups. The Rear Cable (70), the
Low Cable (71), the Butterfly Cable (73), and the Ab Cable (74) are all connected to the small weight stack. All
three cables will be tightened by tightening the Rear Cable at the small weight stack, or by adjusting the
3 1/2” Pulleys (35) in either set of Pulley Plates (32).
The Press Cable (72) is attached to the large weight stack. The Press Cable can be tightened at the large
weight stack or by moving the “V”-Pulleys (34) on the Press Upright (5) and the Press Seat Frame (12).
